About National Silver Academy (NSA)
The National Silver Academy (NSA) is a network of post-secondary education institutions (PSEIs) (i.e. ITE, polytechnics, universities and arts institutions) and community-based organisations that offer learning opportunities that are subsidised for seniors. Seniors and PRs aged 50 years and above can look forward to attending short courses and bite-sized courses that are exam free. For courses run by community-based organisations, the final fee payable – for both Singaporean and Permanent Resident seniors – takes into account the support given by the government to community-based organisations to develop and offer the short courses.

Objective The current COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted norms, and knitting is a beneficial activity for mental health. Helps in dealing with depression and anxiety. Repetitive movements of knitting produces calmness and relaxation, thus reducing stress. Knitting is a lifelong skill that participants can use to create beautiful items as gifts for themselves or others. Participants will be able to read patterns and create delightful items after the sessions.
Description This course is for participants who can easily handle the classic knit and purl stitches, have learned increases and decreases, follow simple pattern, and know a technique to add colour and texture to their projects.  At this skill level, you can complete simple designs and knit simple cables and lace patterns, nothing fancy, but garments and accessories you can wear with pride.
